  • 1m houses? It’s about 10 years that they promise things like that.

    Iirc, the housing problem was known for decades already… And politicians have promised solutions. It’s become worse now. That’s not a situation unique to the Netherlands though.

    Another, imo more disturbing signal in major traditional cultural cities is the gentrifying aspects of neighbourhoods, were local politics decided to take cleanup " affordable " neighbourhoods, and oust the creative more marginalized groups, without providing proper alternatives.

    Haven’t read too deep in that issue lately tbh, but thats what I’ve hearing in all major cities, like Amsterdam, Berlin etc etc Those cities used to be a magical cooking pot of cultures . I miss that.












  • I do know some goods are being imported, moreover some EU countries like Hungary, still have contacts with Russia. But there has been a very strong decline overall (* Imports of goods from Russia into the first quarter of 2025 totalled €8.74 billion (S$13 billion), down from €30.58 billion four years earlier)

    Also I do know that via third countries, purposely and or accidentally, there are im & exports.

    And, also from the article,

    “In contrast to Europe, India’s imports from Moscow surged to US$65.7 billion (S$85 billion) in 2024, from US$8.25 billion in 2021, data from India’s Commerce Ministry website showed.”
